As far as I know, there haven't been any Bunch of Cheer for the last 3 Woot-offs. Sounds like this one is a thank you for PSquishy being a Post Whore in the forums.

And some others too.

Now, to figure out a wine. Possibly a 99 Insignia.

What a great wine choice. We have never made a prime rib on the grill. Won't start tonight, but will have to try that out.

Not to sound tooooo much like a snob, but I usually like to break out something like that when there are people over who really enjoy wine. Fortunately, I have choices. Was also thinking of possibly breaking out a Barolo of some sort, or even a Brunello.

Tried to set up the new Blu-ray since my wife is getting some new videos for Christmas.

It will play the previews, but when it comes to main movie, it displays an error message about an "incompatible video signal". I tried all four aspect ratios that the menu has and same error. And why are the previews OK?

Really frustrated, but time to get ready for mass and the guests. So review my options tomorrow.

Thinking I'm going to do the convect roast/bake at 425 for 15', then decrease to 325, and see where that gets me.

How I do it:
1) Let roast come to room temperature
2) Heavily season
3) Sear in a hot pan
4) Optionally crust with mustard/horseradish*
5) Put in a oven preheated to 450+, turn down to 250-275
6) Remove when temperature in center reaches 126F and let rest at least 15 minutes.

That should leave you with a near perfect medium rare most or all the way through.

*Slather with mustard and stick fresh grated horseradish to the mustard, or squeeze liquid out of prepared horseradish and mix with mustard and slather over roast.

Just started work on the Bumpy the Goose (named by my 4 yr old). All this while drinking some Italian wine. She will be stuffed with some citrus and veggies, basted with some syrups and brandy, and served with some port cumberland sauce. Of course a nice Napa Cab will be served with it.

Saw it a couple of weeks ago on FiOS. And totally agree.

On a wine note, we are expecting to receive orders and move out of NM in 2013. I need to move ~150 bottles with me. Do I need to be aware of any laws regarding the private transportation of wine across the US?

Last I checked, the claim is we are still in a free country, but an interesting question nonetheless.

It might depend on which state you're moving to. When I moved to VA there was something...supposed to fill out a form or something like that. I ignored it.
